Here are some of the things I'd like to do this summer. We are pretty relaxed around here so we may or may not do all or some. I wanted to find some community party type things but haven't had much luck so far. Last year our town participated in National Night Out and it was nice getting to know our community workers. I'd like to find out if they will be doing it again so I can maybe plan a Community Workers Lapbook or something to coincide. So far no luck.
Our county used to be one of the richest in the nation but this year our county library will be the only one in the state to NOT have a reading program for the kids. Truth be told, I hate this town. I hate this state. It is sooooo pretentious. When we hit lotto we are so outta here. I say that but I don't think we would go very far. To many family members here.
It has been a good place to ride out this economic mess though. That's why we came here and that's why we stay. Might as well make the best of it.

Does your town offer anything over the summer? How do you find events/activities? Do you have a list made up?
